I’ve been a Matthews guy for a very long time every year I got a new one. I finally fell off the hipe I started asking my self questions like, how can these bows with such technology not be number one seller‘s. I finally understood, Matthews is perhaps better at advertising than making bows. No disrespect to Matthews I did hat great enjoyment shooting them. But adjustability and tune ability they are a thing of the past, When it comes on doing it yourself and not relying on a bow shop.

I went to shoot one a couple hours after this dropped! I’ve always been a fan of Elite bows, but shoot Obsession. The draw cycle was better than I anticipated. For how fast the bow is, it stacks up nicely. There is a drop into the back wall. It holds great. Bare bow with a biscuit it has a controlled forward thump that is not intrusive. I don’t think anyone would be disappointed with this bow. Elite has some very useful functions built into their bows. We know Matthew’s, Hoyt, and Bowtech are gonna bring the heat, it’s shaping up to be a good year! Thanks PJ for the sneak peek.

Hoyt are smoothe as silk and plenty fast, but more add on's are needed before I buy one,and i'm a Hoyt shooter. I'm sticking with my 80 pound PSE EVO EVL 32 until then.

I'm not sure why vibration at the shot is such a big factor for shooters. As a matter of fact, I think it is such a talking point by reviewers, who get it from manufacturers, and now archers are convinced they need a bow that is without shock or vibration. Mathews has eight limbs separated by a strip between each pair of limbs for the purpose of vibration elimination. Now we have a mini stabilizer to dampen at the shot. Does vibration matter? Perhaps. But to the extent that it draws attention, well, I'm not so sure. When I shoot my longbow it isn't a factor. I own multiple Mathews and Elite bows and like them all, however, I won't make a choice based on vibration when deciding on a new bow. I'd like a lighter bow without spending the money to get a carbon bow. Just thinking aloud.

The location of the new dampeners definitely seems like they looked over at Mathews and went “Hmmm…” I was excited to get an Elite last year-couldn’t get my hands on one. They didn’t sell great at my local shops. (Edit: the lack of sales meant the shops wouldn’t stock em) Was dead set on one til I got to shoot a V3. Ordered a V3X a couple weeks ago. I looked at the money I’d spend for an Elite, which I couldn’t get hands on until I bought it, and a V3X, which the shop had multiples of in stock…and it kinda made the choice for me. Elite needs to send shops a “demo” bow if they want folks to get hooked on anything other than the looks/advertising.
